The Advantages of Paid Hosting Over Free Web Hosting

By Asko Tip


The 1st thing before starting any on-line business you need to consider is a web page. There are two things that every person that plans to open an online business needs: web hosting and web design. The quality of the web design and web hosting will directly impact on the success of your online business.

Now on the internet you can find a lot of free web hosts but free hosting has many disadvantages:

1. Free servers are not very reliable. Your hosting data can be erased at any moment due to server problems or system failure.

2. The control functions are very limited with free hosting. Every web master want as much as possible control over his site.

3. When you sign up for free hosting you will have to agree to put huge banners on your site to promote the host. The enormous banners will have very bad influence on your site.

4. Disk Space - At the moment every new site doesn't require a lot of web space. But with time every site grows and later you will have to pay for more space or move your site to another host.

5. Low bandwidth - Free servers are offering very limited amount of bandwidth.

But if you want to have more features with your site, more security and speed you will have to pay. This is where paid web hosting comes in. Quality web hosting may not be free, but it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket either, at prices going between $4.95 and $12.95 per month for shared hosting plans on HostGator, one of the premier web hosting companies. These hosting plans come with added advantages, such as an SSL certificate(on all the plans), and free dedicated SSL, IP and Toll-free number on the business plans. All in all, this is a small price to pay for a well-maintained, secure hosting for your site.

After you have chosen the web plan the next thing you need to consider is to find good web template for your site. The ideal thing for this is to pay web designer to do the web design for you. However, not all people are prepared to pay precious dollars for a customized page design of their own. For them, it is best to opt for the thousands of stock templates available on the Internet.

Whether you host your web page on a blogging platform such as Wordpress, or CMS(Content Management Systems) such as Drupal and Joomla, you are guaranteed to find a web template that suits your general preferences. For example of you want a template for Drupal just go on Google and search "drupal templates" and you will find a ton of free templates.
